with a mechanical device. More specifically, the invention relates to a combined cigarette holder and lipstick in which the cigarette holder serves as a case for a lipstick of the type which may be advanced mechanically, said holder being provided with means to operate the lipstick mecha- 0 nism.

An object of this invention, accordingly, is to provide a cigarette holder adapted to encase a mechanical device such as a, lipstick.

Another object of the invention is to provide a cigarette holder of the above type wherein the component parts can be moved with respectto each other and are so constructed that the de- 20 cigarette holder of this type wherein the rela- 25- cluding a stem, a body, and an end piece. The

position a lipstick of the type which may be ad vanced mechanically. The stem is removably secured to the body and operates as a cap for the 30 lipstick. The end piece is maintained rotatabl y in adjacent relationship to the body by a permanent connection between said end piece and the may be provided to prevent accidental rotation of the end piece, the latter having the usual opening to receive the end of a cigarette. To provide an operative smoke tube in all relative positions 40 of the stem, body, and end piece, circular troughs bodiment when read in connection'with the ac- 55 companying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a side view in cross-section of the cigarette holder and lipstick;

Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 in which the stem has been removed from the holder and the end piece has been given a half turn;

Figure 3 is a top view of the device with the stem removed;

Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along a line corresponding to 44 of Figure 1 and looking in the direction of the arrows;

Figure 5 is a side view showing the locking device;

Figure 6 is a side view of the tube encasing the lipstick; and

Figure 7 is a side view of the lipstick.

Referring to the above drawing in which like numbers are used to designate like parts throughout, and without limiting the invention to this specific construction, Figure 1 shows the assembled cigarette holder having a stem I, a body member 2, and an end piece 3. The stem l is provided with a. shoulder 4 and a threaded opening 5 to receive the end of the body member 2, a smoke tube 6 being provided to extend between the tip I and the shoulder 4 of the stem. A gasket 8 is provided in the upper surface of the opening 5 to act as a sealing means for the lipstick compartment 9 hereinafter described.

Thelipstick I0 is inserted in a holder II having an extension I2 formed thereon. The lipstick holder is journaled in a tubular frame I3 having a spiral slot I4 to receive the extension I2. The lipstick and frame are received in a tubular compartment 9 in the body member 2.

A slot I5 is formed on the side-of the compart- 5 ment 9 to receive and guide the extension I2. A boss I6 is formed at the end of the compartment to position the end ofthe frame I3.

The body member 2 has a shoulder I8 and a threaded portion I1 to fit and position the adjacent end of the stem I. The other end of the body member 2 is formed with an inset portion inwardly extending sides is provided adjacent the inset portion I9 to position slidably a wedge 20 having similarly formed sides.

A smoke conveying tube 22 extends through the body member 2,-adjacent and substantially parallel to the lipstick compartment and terminates in a circular trough 23 formed on the surface of the shoulder I8.

The end piece 3 is provided with an extension 3| to fit the adjacent end of the body member 2, and a cigarette receiving recess 25 communicating 66 -trough 21 adjacent the tube 22. A bolt 28 and nut is are centrally located to secure the end piece to the frame IS.

A slot 30 is formed at a point on the upper periphery of the end piece so located that it will receive the wedge Ill when the end piece is turned to a closed position as indicated in Figure 1.

It will be seen that when the end piece 3 is rotated with respect to the body'member 2, the frame It will be turned and the coaction between the extension I! and the slots 14 and i5 serves to advance the lipstick. The stem I is removable by reason of the threaded connection 5 to permit such advancement. By reason of the circular troughs 21 and 23 and tubes 8, 26, and 22, a continuous smoke e is provided between the tip I and the cigarette recess 25 regardless of the relative angular position of the stem I, body member 2, and end piece 3.

The above construction provides a cigarette holder suitable to encase a mechanical lipstick, and one that remains operable at all times. Cons'iderable convenience and economy of space is provided thereby in a manner which is pleasing and acceptable to the eye.

Although a certain form of the invention has been shown and described, many modifications thereof are possible and will suggest themselves topersons skilled in the art. For example, a variety of forms of mechanical lipstick might be utilized, or the circular troughs described might be located on either of the abutting surfaces. The invention, therefore, is not to be restricted except insofar as is necessitated by the prior art and by the spirit of the appended claims.

I claim:
